Mountain Biking, Camping, and Hiking with my Border Collie are our favorite things! We ride almost daily and camp a few nights per month during warmer weather. Watching big your video really makes me want to Bike-Pack for the first time with my pup. Seeing how it's possible with snow on the ground leaves us no excuse to go in the spring! Cool video with some great helpful info. Thanks.
Drenalin Adventures awesome! I have yet to camp under a tarp, and always assumed I would be cold, but it sure looks more than possible with the right sleeping bag and a warm Doggy right next to you. Seems like a lighter option than carrying a bulky tent bikepacking.
Great video, so glad you did this when you are young and didn’t wait too long like I did. Your video quality is excellent as good as any I have seen and better than most. Thank you I appreciate all you effort.
Larry Jacobs ... I’m 50 and I bike all year long and take my English mastiff Franky with me. I want to be that 80 year old that is still active and young at heart. I leave Franky home though when it goes down to -40°C here in northern Saskatchewan
Really cool Scott, proper adventure, great choice of gear, minimal and functional. Just finished my first bikepacking bike build an On One 29er but I'm liking the fat thang.
Just found your channel. Great work. Love Ridge wrapped in his sleeping bag. Bought a Farley that will arrive on Thursday. Looking forward to some riding and winter bike packing.
No problem, I've never tried the Fatbike before as it looked to bulky and I figured it would be cumbersome to ride, but you are changing my opinion :) It looks really good and would be great for staying active in the winter. Ill have to give it a try...
Great video! Really enjoyed it. I actually just bought a new specialized 29r today just for these type adventures. I have been bike camping with my other bikes but it's mostly just the " rail to trail " trails. Just subbed your channel too. Keep the bike packing videos coming!
So.. I literally grew up on two wheels. Spent most of my life on a bike yet with that said the idea of bikepacking has never crossed my mind. Definitely a major brain fart.lol Will for sure be trying it soon now though. Thank you for the inspiration and jump-starting my brain a bit. Love the videos and for sure glad Mr. Robinet's channel aided in the discovery of yours. Very entertaining and great quality as well.
@@DrenalinAdventures thanks so much for your response. I,m thinking of just using my ski gloves which are great as is, and for colder rides, bar mitts. :) keep up the great vids
That was dog gone enjoyable to watch. LOL First found your vids because of the C.O.L.T. adventure. I cycled 773 mi / 1124 km last year, at the age of 63. I live in Ontario, too.
Wondering can you put fat tires on a normal Trek hard tail?? I want to get into exactly this but I only have been riding on my normal mtn tires. Thanks for the awesome video. SUBSCRIBED!!! and keep it up.
Haggard Wildnerness thanks for your comments. you won’t be able to put large tires on your hard tail because fat bikes have different spacing in the frame and fork. Depending on your bike you may be able to put wider tires on put nothing that would compare to the fat bike tires. Hope that helps and stay tuned for more vids.
Awesome video. I’m thinking of buying my first fat bike and I see Costco has northrock XC00. I’m wondering if you think that’s a descent bike for a first bike?
@@DrenalinAdventures thanks for the reply. Interesting, I was curious, yours looked framed in the video. So I assume the frameless adds stability and control?
Hi just gotten interested in fatbiking so I came across your awesome video. I have also been thinking about Vizlas as a trail dog but I have a question about that chicken he ate. Was that raw chicken? It must be raw due to the bones, right? But what about Salmonella?
Raw chicken is the best thing you can feed them. Salmonella is something I consider but make a point of cleaning my hands if I handle the chicken. No different than making dinner in my kitchen. 👍
Soak your polyester gear in white vinegar in the bathtub, eliminates the stink. For warm hands get pogies, I ride all winter in just riding gloves inside the pogies and my hands sweat!
Really nice video! One question for you. I've been looking at the merino wool base layers but I've heard that once you start sweating they become itchy. Have you found this to be true?
I can’t say enough about the merino wool base layer and socks. Aside from them not getting smelly they can get wet with sweat or even rain and not bind to you and they keep your body temp warmer as well. SmartWool is my favorite for socks and woolx for a more budget friendly base
Yuri York anything that comes standard with Shimano or sram components is a good start, even if it’s the lowest line from them. If it has hydraulic brakes and is made of aluminum, it’s probably going to be a decent bike. Check out moose fat bikes, I bought mine for $750 and comparable to khs fat bikes I use to maintain that came with a heftier price tag.
Great video Scott! Provided you had neoprene booties and toe warmers in the shoes, at what temps would you consider riding clipless, or would you say it's just not worth it in the winter? We're thinking about trying fat bikes this winter - looks like a blast!
Thanks Chris. I prefer clipless. If I had to buy mine again I would have bought the Specialized Defrosters. They didn't exist when I bought my first pair. Make sure to get them a bit big so you have room for some thick socks and warmers. I have 3 different friends who just bought them and love them. We ride in -10 C all the time and they say they're warm.
Well, sorry, man...you have to become a regular you tuber now...everybody likes ya! :) lol (none of the other guys have a fat bike either!) What a great looking dog! He seems to have a great personality, too! I couldn't quite catch the name, though, it sounded like a Hungarian something or other? Keep up the good work! I saw you on Joe's channel, too, you fit right in!
Were you able to look them up? Also are you familiar with REI there's only one thing I want to inform you on about then them is 20 bucks or something like that one time fee and you get money back at the end of the year so I bought some stuff the other day from them spend $50 that gives me a rebate at the end of the year they going to send me $5 so in other words if you spend $27 your accumulated refund will be $2.70 understand what I'm saying and at the end of the year you get a check back or you can use it to purchase more gear bicycles all kinds of stuff I mean I don't know how much you know about the whole REI thing but it's definitely a good deal and that see that you get a pay to become a member that REI is a co-op so we all have a stake in it anyway I thought I'd give you a little bit of information you may already know that but in case you don't
Was excited when "Drenalin Adventures has uploaded a video" flash notified me when I was on Facebook...Oh good...Scott has uploaded another new vid!" I thinks...Damn...a re-upload...better safe than sorry though buddy...good job on removing that music...bloody copyrights.
Try not to move the joysticks too quickly, slow and even usually is best, if it has GPS and attitude hold then throw those on whenever you fly it as it makes for a steady and easy flight mode. Some drones are just meant to be crashed though Scott, I have no idea how many times I've crashed my simple little Syma X5C into trees and things and still haven't even had to change a broken prop lol.
The Mavic is a nice little piece of kit...Too techy for me though Scott...I'm a seat of the pants type flyer (probably the cause of my million and one crash technique for landing lol). I wish you luck with it, plenty of awesome footage and no flyaways.
I accidentally used a copyrighted song. I guess its a common thing because the TH-cam editor allows you to swap it out but for some reason all of my other audio was erased. (cry, weep, cry, lol) I'm still learning. Gotta laugh sometimes. Thanks Ray
I think it was "guitar and me 5". I had tried a 30 day trial from Epidemic Sound for music but I felt I didn't use enough to justify the cost. I left this song in my music library and just used it in this video forgetting that I wasn't allowed to use it once my 30 day trial expired.

Inspirational vid to get out and enjoy life in the outdoors!
Great to see you and Ridge outside enjoying a snowy adventure. My Tervuren and I spend as much time outside as we can. Good times for both of us.
The part when you gave Ridge real dog food is what kept me here. Well done. Ridge is happy.
Thanks. Yes, he is.
I dig the dog cam
Very very adorable dog, loves you big time
very funny 🚴🐶
Thanks for continuing to kindle my wanderlust!
Great video, so glad you did this when you are young and didn’t wait too long like I did. Your video quality is excellent as good as any I have seen and better than most. Thank you I appreciate all you effort.

Nice one. Well done. Awesome doggy bye the way.
Thank you Thomas.
It’s the adventure sprit 💯
Hi nice set up thanks for the info on winter wear. On my bike I added a rear carrier and a quad gun rack for chasing critters in the fall
Nice idea with the quad rack.
Looking forward to this!
Really cool Scott, proper adventure, great choice of gear, minimal and functional. Just finished my first bikepacking bike build an On One 29er but I'm liking the fat thang.

Great video and food looks great
Thanks Kirk.
Real Bikepacking.
Amazing
:-)
Great video, more ideas for my adventures. My wife doesn’t like the suggestions, but my dog Maya loves you for them!
Go Maya!
Came for the cool bike stayed for the dog...great vid
Great video Scott ,cant wait for the drone footage
Thank you. Me too!
Cool dog
Like your vids a lot!
Thank you.
Great video 👍🏻
No problem at all! It happens :) thanks for the reload!
Thanks for watching.

Will do. Thanks for watching.
Interesting. Ridge seemed to have a great time. Damn, that looks cold though.
Nice one Scott!
Mike Stapley Thanks buddy.
Nice video. I watch Joe Robinette as well. Love these adventure vids.
Thank you
great video😎
Thanks !

Yep I want to do it too but I don't know how to change a flat. Also the back derailer wheel is alien to me
Great vid. What type lobster gloves do you use. And flat winter boots. Cheers
I don’t recommend the gloves. My boots are Specialized Defrosters which are awesome and I still use them.
@@DrenalinAdventures thanks so much for your response. I,m thinking of just using my ski gloves which are great as is, and for colder rides, bar mitts. :) keep up the great vids
I joined after I saw you on Joe's channel. I like the content :)
Thank you
Nice lobsta gloves? Can you tell us what brand of glove? Thank you
I would tend more towards hot cocoa and schnapps than a cold beer. Great trip though.
lol
That was dog gone enjoyable to watch. LOL First found your vids because of the C.O.L.T. adventure. I cycled 773 mi / 1124 km last year, at the age of 63. I live in Ontario, too.

Best diet for a dog, raw meaty chicken hips. Your puppy is adorable, take good care of him.
Hey gotta question, frameless or framed backpack while riding?
Frameless and keep as small as possible.
@@DrenalinAdventures thanks for the reply. Interesting, I was curious, yours looked framed in the video. So I assume the frameless adds stability and control?
How many teeth does the front chainring have on that fatboy? And what is the cassette range on the back? Thanks!
30 teeth on the front. 11-42 eleven speed cassette.

Added u after seeing you with joe. Great content keep up the good vids thnx
Thank you Josh.
Roasted sprouts?

Just came here after i saw the vids with joe....love your videos aswell..thks for sharing great adventures...Dave
Thanks Dave.
Really nice video! One question for you. I've been looking at the merino wool base layers but I've heard that once you start sweating they become itchy. Have you found this to be true?
Not at all. As long as it's 100% merino wool they are the most comfortable baselayer you can wear.
I can’t say enough about the merino wool base layer and socks. Aside from them not getting smelly they can get wet with sweat or even rain and not bind to you and they keep your body temp warmer as well. SmartWool is my favorite for socks and woolx for a more budget friendly base
How do you cook the brussels and for how long? Great adventure. Looks like your dog had a blast too.
Thanks Kris. Cut them in quarters so they cook faster. Just fry them up with some salt and pepper and garlic if you have it in a little olive oil.
Cool video. I want to try fat biking. What do you think of Costco Northrock XC00?
I'm not familiar with it but Costco usually carries quality items so it would probably be a safe bet.
Yuri York anything that comes standard with Shimano or sram components is a good start, even if it’s the lowest line from them. If it has hydraulic brakes and is made of aluminum, it’s probably going to be a decent bike. Check out moose fat bikes, I bought mine for $750 and comparable to khs fat bikes I use to maintain that came with a heftier price tag.
No worm problems?
Great video Scott! Provided you had neoprene booties and toe warmers in the shoes, at what temps would you consider riding clipless, or would you say it's just not worth it in the winter? We're thinking about trying fat bikes this winter - looks like a blast!

Nice! Just checked them out online - thanks for the tip! :)
45 north marks them....
That's what they use on the 1000 miles to nome event...
Nothing warmer made
Great video Scott! Question, are those toe warmer packs expensive?
Thank you. You can usually buy 10 pair for about $12-15
With bones?
Do you clean up the dog Schmidt
Well, sorry, man...you have to become a regular you tuber now...everybody likes ya! :) lol (none of the other guys have a fat bike either!) What a great looking dog! He seems to have a great personality, too! I couldn't quite catch the name, though, it sounded like a Hungarian something or other? Keep up the good work! I saw you on Joe's channel, too, you fit right in!
His name is Ridge and he’s a Vizsla (Hungarian retriever) thanks for the nice comments.
Would you and joe do a camping trip with both your dogs
I'd be up for it. We'll see.
Ridge was affected by the well-documented 'meat coma.'
Can you share me the shoes brand you wear sir
Specialized. Defrosters.
How come you don't use poggies
I don't know what poggies are?
Good, les uk.
man that dog looks cold
He stayed in the sleeping bag most of the time.
Were you able to look them up?
Also are you familiar with REI there's only one thing I want to inform you on about then them is 20 bucks or something like that one time fee and you get money back at the end of the year so I bought some stuff the other day from them spend $50 that gives me a rebate at the end of the year they going to send me $5 so in other words if you spend $27 your accumulated refund will be $2.70 understand what I'm saying and at the end of the year you get a check back or you can use it to purchase more gear bicycles all kinds of stuff I mean I don't know how much you know about the whole REI thing but it's definitely a good deal and that see that you get a pay to become a member that REI is a co-op so we all have a stake in it anyway I thought I'd give you a little bit of information you may already know that but in case you don't
Thanks Clay, I know REI VERY well. I appreciate all of your recent feedback. Cheers.
Was excited when "Drenalin Adventures has uploaded a video" flash notified me when I was on Facebook...Oh good...Scott has uploaded another new vid!" I thinks...Damn...a re-upload...better safe than sorry though buddy...good job on removing that music...bloody copyrights.
Thanks for understanding. I got a drone for Christmas so stay tuned for some epic footage with my dogs. If I can stop crashing the thing. Lol.
Try not to move the joysticks too quickly, slow and even usually is best, if it has GPS and attitude hold then throw those on whenever you fly it as it makes for a steady and easy flight mode.
Some drones are just meant to be crashed though Scott, I have no idea how many times I've crashed my simple little Syma X5C into trees and things and still haven't even had to change a broken prop lol.
Thanks for the advice Sam. I got a DJI Mavic Pro which is awesome and stressful at the same time. Lol. I'm looking forward to taking it on my trips.
The Mavic is a nice little piece of kit...Too techy for me though Scott...I'm a seat of the pants type flyer (probably the cause of my million and one crash technique for landing lol). I wish you luck with it, plenty of awesome footage and no flyaways.
Did you get 'de-monetized'?
I accidentally used a copyrighted song. I guess its a common thing because the TH-cam editor allows you to swap it out but for some reason all of my other audio was erased. (cry, weep, cry, lol) I'm still learning. Gotta laugh sometimes. Thanks Ray
Drenalin Adventures what song was it? Lol
It's been a common theme. Shawn James had a video taken down also, last week. Good stuff. Stick to it. You know, like Velcro. Right, Ridgie?
I think it was "guitar and me 5". I had tried a 30 day trial from Epidemic Sound for music but I felt I didn't use enough to justify the cost. I left this song in my music library and just used it in this video forgetting that I wasn't allowed to use it once my 30 day trial expired.
Drenalin Adventures , I knew you looked a little shady!! LOL.
